Get the N79 with eyes closed.

Good crisp pics with the LED flash. E52 is bland in comparison as E52 is a business class phone.

It also comes with an FM transmitter to boot. Nifty stuff if u get the habit of using it.

Sturdy phone dubbed as the swiss army knife phone from nokia.. And rightly so.

Ok so till now i have suggested her the following phones, but she is insisting on something around 10k range and not 15k (even though i am paying :p)

Sony Ericsson Cedar

Sony Ericsson Yari

Sony Ericsson Elm

Sony Ericsson Hazel

Sony Ericsson T700

Nokia X2

Nokia N79

Nokia C5

Anything else i can suggest and as i said No Touchscreen, No Querty, Nothing except SE and Nokia.

Also the phone is for a girl and as you know feature set is the last thing they will ever want :p

But yes good camera and music player with radio is must. I have a Sony ericsson w800i and feel its 2 Mpx camera is far far better than my 5230 nokia camera.

Yari looks good all round with its specs and looks.else the Elm matches it with price too.
But of late i have noticed that phone Yari is not easily available.
Also though cannot talk about of YARI but offlate SE phones have poor build quality.
So would not suggest getting an Se phones with slider mechanism.
Rest is your decision.

So guys finally getting the X2 for her. How is this phone in general, any personal experiences ??

I know it does not have 3G and all but that is not really necessary. I am as it is going to get a data card later for 3G access. The other usual functions that this phone offers are upto the mark ??

Any grave shortcoming, anyone want to highlight here ??

^^ New N86 is not available anymore i guess :S

Moreover now she has changed her choice to X3 because she needs a slider.

PS: I think till the moment i buy the phone, it wont be finalized :p
